The GConf Key "navigation_window_saved_geometry" saves the last Geometry Details of the Nautilus window. If you scale the Window, close the Window and open a new Nautilus Window the Window have the Geometry from the GConf Key "navigation_window_saved_geometry" (eg. 1000x500+120+60). But if you close the Nautlius Window when its maximzed, after you open a new Nautilus Window the Geomatry after using "Restore Window" is still maximized. The GConf Key saved also maximized Geometry. I'm only a user but i think the Key "navigation_window_saved_maximized" will help at this problem but it doesn't work.

The Keys are under apps - nautilus - preferences

I want set a default size for nautilus windows which also works if i close nautilus when its maximized.

I'm using Gnome 2.16 under Fedora Core 6.
